UNION GIRLS SAY YES, BUI DON'T STICK 70 RULE Atlanta Union Women Discuss Matri mony. Ever since inquisitive students of theology first asked who Cain's wife was, the subject of marriage has been one of general discussion. Marriages for love, for money, for title, for re venge and for position have had their share In the debate. Until a few days ago there was no new question on the field, and the old questions were be coming rather shop-worn. The new question was propounded by a promt nent leader In labor union circles, and it was something like this: "Has a union woman a right to mar. ry any but a union man?" Like many speakers—and she was addressing a great meeting In the East —she didn't let'her auditors answer the query. She did that herself. After an hour of argument, she said: Now as this speaker talked' she made some very plausible little speeches in support of her position. At least It seemed so. But when you take them home to yourself, as an Atlanta union girl says, they don’t seem to fit Just * ffo better woman member of a union could be found to speak on this than Mrs. Lula McCurdy, local treasurer of the United Garment Workers of Amer ica. It Is so short a time since she was married that many of her friends forget and still call her Miss Austin once In a while. The question given above was asked her. She took It home and thought It over. And she handed back this reply: Not a Closed 8hop. "1 believe In unionism. I believe In It In every form I know. And what Is the greatest and most sacred form of union? That formed by God and known to man as the marriage law. Do you think that if I loved a man who was not a member of a union, and he loved me, I would let his or my membership In a labor union stand In the way of our happiness? Not me, and I wouldn't think much of the love of a man who would. "I was not a member of the union when I became engaged to my husband. You see the result? Today I am one of Its officers. But if the matter was to be put up to me today, and I was not married, I would stick to the man I believe loves me." That's a very pretty sentlmen . will say. But J. D. Stacks, president of the same union, and employed In the i same shop on Pryor street, thinks It Is U "Hm-m," said he; "there’s Isn’t a girl I know In Atlanta, member of a union or not, who wouldn’t snap at a chance to marry a fellow, union man or not. The girls, or lots of them, Join the un ion because of the advantages It ofTers. It means a better Job for them for a tew years. But when a fellow comes along that offers them a lifetime place, they forget all about trade unionism." "Those are my sentiments," said J. T. Bradfleld, a cutter In these shops, and a former member of the union. "Why, It would be like a girl asking a fellow to show his union card before she'd take a glass of Ice cream soda with him. After the glasses were filled he would go through his pockets and say he couldn't find his card. Bay, do you think for a minute that that soda wouldn't disappear down her pretty throat? Nay, nay." Choose Union Men. "I am thoroughly In favor of union ism, and I believe that we should Choose union men as far as possible ’when we marry," said Miss Llfteneteln.

Charlee Hardy Salford, who attempt ed to commit suicide when caught ■teallng from Kress' ten-cent store Friday, will not be prosecuted when ar raigned In court. Just what dleposl. tlon will he mode of his case, however, has not been decided, as Policeman Coogler, who made the arrest, has been Investigating Salford's life history snd his habits and he does not believe that Salford should be turned out on the street without some one to keep watch over him. Salford, who Is a college graduate, a former bank clerk, a portrait painter and a Jack-of-all-trades, was seen In the police station' Saturday morning. While still weak from the loss of blood, he was In fairly good shape physically and wholly rational. "I don't know why I took those things yesterday," said he, “unless the two or three drinks I had taken made me drunk. I am not a drinking man and never was arrested before In all the 62 years of my life. I am a Christian, and I see now that It was not God's will that I should die. I am going to try hard to forget my troubles and live a better life In the future, although un til yesterday I do not think I ever (Jld anything to harm anybody. “My troubles? They wouldn't In terest anybody. Every member of my family.Is dead—I burled the last neph ew I had eight years ago. Then I had some property, and 1 lost that In busi ness. But these are the smallest of my troubles.” Unfortunate Genius. „ Further than this Salford would not go, but from W. W. Reynolds and oth ers who have employed him, It was learned that Salford was bom In Geor gia, was educated In the North, was employed by a Chicago bank for sev eral years, and then came back.to At lanta, where hie father had settled soon after the war. Yet of these facts he always talked In generalities rather than details. It, was only when some argument brought them up accidentally that he mentioned them, and when queetloned he was 'as reserved as he was In the police station Saturday morning. "Salford la nothing less than a ge nius.” said Mr. Reynolds, "He can do anything. He Is handy with car penter tools, can paint a house, work at a blacksmith's forge, set type, paint pictures, and. In fact, do most any- hlng he puts his hands to. He Is a wonder as a handy man. He would MAY TAKE APPEAL Claim Earnings Wore Spent Without Author ity. Special to The Georgina.

Only his one fault Is responsible tor his being where hs Is today. And that Is that unless you stand over him he will leave one task before It la complete and start another. Man of Intellect. No one can help but respect a man of such Intellect and ability. Why, you can't bring up a subject that he can't discuss with the best of them. He'll go without a meal to buy a mag azine. "I will be glad to do anything I for Salford, In conjunction with other men In this city for whom he has worked. I would be glad to see him placed In some Institute. He could make himself self-supporting, and It would be much better. In my opinion, than turning him loose or sending him to the stockads." Salford's room on Brand streef ! fit habitat for a genius. It Is ‘way up under the roof and Is filled with an odd collection of books, pictures he has painted himself and copies of noted works by great artists.

O. W. Lamar, an old negro, claims the honor of being Albert's victim to ths amount of one gray hors* or promissory note for 160 In payment for the same. He alleges that Albert called upon him at his home near Dorysvllle and began negotiations for the gray- horse. He says that Albert told him that he was a well-known—which te true—and wealthy clttsen of Atlanta. To support these claims, he ssy* Al bert drove him around Atlanta, allow ing him a number of fine house* which he owned. The result was the ex change of the horse for promissory notes aggregating 660, which, Lamar claims, he found to be absolutely with out value, as Albert had no property whatever. So often has Albert been arrested and tried for cheating and swindling that he takes It stoically. He te confi dent that he will come clear, as hs has many times before. "It's Just a matter of business" said Albert In speaking of his last arrest. The only way to make money horse trading Is to beat the other fellow. When he finds It out he gets mad. Then he goes and has me arrested tor cheat ing nnd swindling. He ought to stick to bis bargain. That's what I do when somebody does me. The cases never amount to anything. I nearly always get out." Ths Governor’s Horses. There are many, many tales told of Albert and his trading. On* of a deal with the late Oovemor McDaniel he does not deny. It happened a score of years ago, but If you mention Albert’s name to any one who knows him, you will most likely hear the story. Albert met the governor driving a good but rather rough looking pair of horses. He told (he state's chief exec utive that he could, by trading, get him better pair. The governor,, having great faith In Albert 1 ! knowledge of loree-fleeh, as every one has, consent ed, and Albert took the horses. About two weeks later he showed Governor McDaniel a smart, stylish looking team, which he said he had traded for, giving 676 boot. The governor paid the 76 and took the team, not discovering until some time later that they were the same horses which Albert had kept, groomed, trimmed and fattened. Both friends and enemies haa Albert, t enemies for the moet port are some those whoee Ideas of fair horse trading differed • with Albert's.
